Welcome to the Tits Up hub
Often, when patients first receive their diagnosis of breast cancer, they don't know where to turn for support. It is a very scary time.
The Tits Up hub has been put together to help to signpost patients, their family and friends through their treatment journey.
The Tits Up hub came about after the publication of 'Tits Up - A Journey Laid Bare' by Carole Paterson, who was diagnosed with stage 3, Triple Negative breast cancer in 2019. Carole documented her treatment journey in an easy-to-read style so that fellow patients might find the information they need to support them in their treatment.
Proceeds from the sale of Tits Up - A Journey Laid Bare', hand-knitted teddies and hand-crocheted items have been donated to numerous charities involved in the care and treatment of breast cancer. To date, over £2500 has been donated.
Charities we have supported
Proceeds from the sale of 'Tits Up - A Journey Laid Bare' have been donated to many leading UK breast cancer charities which offer tremendous support to people dealing with a cancer diagnosis:
"It is great that 'Tits Up - A Journey Laid Bare' has kickstarted a community where people in similar situations can find help and comfort in knowing they are not alone"
Lilli, St Annes
"Tits Up humbled me, raised my consciousness and awareness of the value of life and reaffirmed the essence of what can make us Happy, Contented, Positive and Emotionally Valued"
Kath, Fleetwood
"The book is well written and is often funny, sensitively written, sometimes sad and offers a must read for those who want to fully understand the ups and downs of living with cancer"
Jeff, Leeds
"It is great that people can have a platform to find support in. Conversations surrounding cancer need to be destigmatised and the Tits Up Community can definitely provide that"
Olivia, Blackpool
